Appendix A Cost Evaluation
Phosphate Treatment of Residential Properties at the Omaha Lead
Site, Omaha, Nebraska
Assumptions for Cost Evaluation September, 2008
This evaluation presents the costs to implement a phosphate
treatment remedial action at the Omaha Lead Site in Omaha,
Nebraska. The evaluation contains the cost breakdown of the tasks
and procedures required to implement the remedial action.
Following is an outline of the basic project assumptions; phosphate
treatment procedures; miscellaneous cost impact issues, and other
considerations that directly and indirectly affect the remediation
process and impact the cost estimate:
A. Basic Project Assumptions: 1. Unit residential treatment area of
7,890 square feet (sf) [property area equivalent to
25% of nominal survey acreage of a typical property at 10,890 sf,
minus 3,000 sf for improvements, landscaping, and other areas =
7,890 sf ]
2. Contractors for project shall function as follows: a. Prime
Contractor
• Mobilization to property • Property assessment • Property area
preparation (prior to treatment process) • Install protective
barrier/erosion control • Roto-tilling #1 (to depth of about 15 cm)
• Initial Application of Chemicals (Phosphoric Acid and
Potassium
Chloride) • Roto-tilling #2 • Application of addt’l 5g Phosphate
(P) Kg soil • Roto-tilling #3 • Lime stabilization of soil / pH
adjustment • Soil preparation for sod placement (see subcontractor
below) • Re-install lawn features • Remove protective
barrier/erosion control • Demobilization from property
b. Subcontractor(s) • Lawn Service Subcontractor
• Lay sod (following application of chemical agents by Prime
Contractor, and soil preparation for sod placement)
• Replacement of damaged plantings / shrubs, etc
A-1
3. 85% Phosphoric Acid (PA) is applied at rate of 10 U.S. gallons
per 86.1113 sf. (37.8 Liters per 8 sq. meters); (note: per Harcros
Chemicals, Inc., PA is typically purchased by the pound at a weight
of 13-14 lbs of raw acid/gallon; use 13.2 lbs/gal. PA is
incorporated into the soil at approx. 6” depth during roto-tilling
operations.
Volume of PA required per property: 7,890 sf /property x 10 gal /
86.1113 sf = 916.256 gal PA / property
Weight of PA required per property: 916.256 gal PA / property x
13.2 lbs / gal = 12,095 lbs / property
4. Potassium Chloride (KCl) (fertilizer grade) is applied at a rate
of 335 lbs / 7,890 sf property (1.66 kilograms per 8 sq. meters).
The KCl shall be applied in conjunction with the application of the
Phosphoric Acid.
5. Lime is applied at a rate of 1837 lbs / 7,890 sf property (9.1
kilograms per 8 sq. meters). The Lime will be applied and
incorporated in the soil by roto-tilling and grading for drainage,
and compaction to 85% Proctor. Lime incorporation occurs after a
period between 3 to 10 days following the application of the PA and
KCl.
B. Listing of Chemical Treatment Procedures: Step 1 Property
Assessment (e.g., identify buried utility locations)
Step 2 Property preparation (prior to treatment process) Step 3
Install protective barrier/ erosion controls around property Step 4
Roto-tilling #1 of soil Step 5 Apply Phosphoric Acid chemical Step
6 Apply Potassium Chloride chemical Step 7 Roto-tilling #2 of soil
Step 8 Apply Application of addt’l 5g Phosphate (P) Kg soil Step 9
Roto-tilling #3 of soil Step 10 Incorporate Lime into soil (incl
Rototilling #4) Step 11 Fine Grade / compaction of disturbed soil
to prepare for sod placement Step 12 Placement of Sod Step 13 30
day watering period to establish sod (provide cost allowance to
owner) Step 14 Re-install lawn features Step 15 Replacement of
damaged plantings / shrubs, etc. (note: provide cost allowance)
Step 16 Remove protective barrier/erosion controls
C. Direct-Indirect cost impacts and considerations: 1. All
properties are considered to be residential.
2. Costs of chemicals and sod placement are based on delivery to
Omaha, NE.
3. The location of buried utilities issues (i.e., cable T.V.,
sprinkler systems, underground electrical) are a concern. An
allowance for locating the utilities has been included in the
estimate.
4. Costs associated with pet control issues are not addressed in
this estimate.
A-2
5. HAZWOPER - OSHA Compliant Training costs are considered
requirements for all personnel and included in the analysis.
6. Assumed Daily Log / Journaling tasks for remediation program
inherent to all activities.
7. Cost evaluation does not provide for allowances where property
conditions may exist in which owner has invested substantial
resource into lawn care / maintenance, etc.
8. When soil is roto-tilled, it may bulk in volume approx. 15%, and
require re-compaction prior to sod placement. (See Steps 5 through
10 of treatment procedures.)
10. Analysis assumes erosion control barrier will be required in
addition to the protective barrier.
11. Analysis does not provide for Testing /Sampling following
remediation procedures.
12. A cost allowance is made for areas of properties that may
require some re-sodding at future date. For purpose of the cost
evaluation, the basis is 10% of total residential properties
requiring 5% sod re-placement.
13. No cost allowance is made for temporary displacement of
individuals / pets / livestock, etc., during the remedial
process.
14. Prime and Subs will need to mob / demob to each residential
property. An allowance for mob / demob of equipment and personnel
and documentation procedures is provided in the analysis.
15. Costs do not include oversight by agency personnel.
16. It is assumed contractor personnel shall be required to wear
protective clothing during all chemical applications and presence
on the property prior to sod placement. Respirators will be
required during application of the phosphoric acid. (See item 5
above)
17. Analysis does not include costs associated with obtaining
access to properties, characterization costs, or post-treatment
evaluation costs.
18. Costs relating to damage of property features (i.e., sidewalks,
drives, ornaments) are not included.
19. A cost allowance for watering the sod for 30 days is provided
for in the estimate.
20. Costs associated with limitations and encumbrances to property
access are not included.
21. Risks associated with the acidic and caustic nature of applied
chemicals are not addressed. Risks may include ecological impacts
and associated costs due to stormwater runoff which discharges into
streams and air-borne particulates which become in contact with
property features (i.e., housing, automobiles, and other property
features.)
A-3
22. Risks, concerns, and issues which are associated with
stormwater runoff discharged onto adjoining properties are not
evaluated in this analysis.
23. A 10% contingency is added to the estimated phosphate treatment
cost to allow for unforeseen conditions and circumstances relating
to remedial operations.
24. Contractor delivery capability of chemicals in residential
areas is an issue due to the limited size requirements of delivery
vehicles and limited roadway features typically found in
residential areas. Associated risks / costs impacts due to delivery
of chemicals to a property are not included.
25. Availability and costs of the chemicals are affected by
seasonal demands supplies on manufactures from agri-business, or
other industries.
26. Due to the extensive gross chemical quantities required for a
remediation program of residential properties, a controlled storage
and staging facility of chemicals will be required for the OLS
program. The facility would warehouse and allow for breakdown of
delivered products into manageable and effective units. It would be
required for the facility to adequately shelter the products from
the elements and meet public safety needs. Sufficient personnel and
equipment would be required to manage and maintain operations at
the storage and staging facility. Although the specific
requirements for the facility are not known, an allowance has been
included in the analysis.
27. Davis-Bacon wage rates are used as basis of labor costs, from
DB General decision NE20080001, dated 08/08/2008. Equipment costs
are abstracted from 2007 MCACSES MII Region 5 Equipment database,
then escalated to 2008 costs.
28. Costs are in current 2008 U.S. dollars (as of September
2008).
